GREAT FOR JOBIM AND SINATRA FANS

This is cool, smooth and romantic and though it is soft and gentle swings like mad. Perfect for night at home as a couple with some nice wine and...Great stuff.

Smooth

Have beautiful memories of "Quiet Nights"--what do young lovers use for mood music these days? This album is definitely one of Sinatra's best collaborations and one I never tire of.

Smooth and elegant

Sinatra and Jobim collaborated during the height of the bossa nova craze in 1967, producing a classic album. Sinatra was in rare form, eschewing the upbeat swing phrasings for a smooth vocal style so liquid that it seems to pour from the speakers. He and Jobim perform seven classic Jobim numbers and a trio of standards. Standouts include "Once I Loved," "Dindi," and "Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars."

Francis Albert Sinatra and Antonio Carlos Jobim

What a combination! Smooth Frankie and the romantic latin of Jobim. Meltingly romantic as well as elegant, sophisticated and seductive. Just add champagne, candlelight and a loved one.

Multitalented Brazilian musician Jobim's talent was revealed to a larger world in 1959 by his and Luis Bonfa's score for the film Orfeu Negro (Black Orpheus) in 1959. Songs such as "A Felicidade" and "Desafinado" generated the bossa nova movement of the early '60s that inspired the likes of Stan Getz, Charlie Byrd, and Miles Davis. This 1967 album features Jobim sharing vocals with Sinatra on "The Girl from Ipanema" and "How Insensitive." Three standards--"Change Partners" by Irving Berlin; "I Concentrate on You" by Cole Porter; and Robert Wright, George Forrest, and Alexander Borodin's "Baubles, Bangles, and Beads"--round out the program of seven Jobim tunes. This is a lovely taste of Latin melody and rhythm from two masters of relaxed swing. --Stanley Booth
